Point people at an exact spot on the map
Enter latitude and longitude and the builder encodes a standard geo: location. Scanning drops a pin at those coordinates in the visitor's maps app, ready for turn-by-turn directions.
Coordinates beat a written address whenever the destination is hard to describe — a field entrance, a loading bay, a trailhead, a stall inside a large venue or a site under construction.
How to create a location QR code
- 1Copy the coordinates from your maps app for the precise spot, not just the building.
- 2Paste latitude into the first field and longitude into the second.
- 3Scan the preview and confirm the pin lands where you expect.
- 4Download the SVG for signage or the PNG for invitations and digital use.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I find my latitude and longitude?
- In Google Maps, right-click the exact spot on desktop, or long-press it on mobile, and the coordinates appear ready to copy. Paste latitude in the first field and longitude in the second.
- Which app opens when someone scans it?
- The device's default maps app handles the geo: payload — usually Google Maps on Android and Apple Maps on iPhone.
- Can I encode a business listing instead of coordinates?
- Yes, and it is often better for shops: copy your Google Maps place link and build a URL QR code from it so the scan shows reviews, hours and directions.
- How precise are the coordinates?
- Five decimal places is roughly a metre, which is plenty. Precision matters most for entrances, gates and sites without a street address.
